Patent attributes
In a semiconductor storage device including a transistor for reading port, undesired voltage decrease may occur in a bit line in a reading operation due to a leak current from the transistor for reading port of a memory cell, which may cause a reading error. A semiconductor storage device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a third transistor having one of a source and a drain connected to a first bit line and switching supply of a ground voltage performed on the first bit line in accordance with a value held in a memory cell according to selection and non-selection of the memory cell, and a fixed voltage keeping circuit keeping a potential of the other of the source and the drain of the third transistor to a fixed potential in a memory cell non-selected state in a six-transistor SRAM.
